Her hands and feet were petite; she also had a lovely British accent. Rachel thought she was about her mother’s age and wondered what role she woul... play in her new life. Dan got the women to sit while he fixed some drinks; he made rum and diet coke for Becky but had to ask what Rachel wanted, she answered that rum and diet coke would be fine.

Turn on the TV.’ I jumped out of bed and ran into the living room.
